    I've completed Day 2 for me..... Plyometrics. Wowy!! Day 3 here I come! :smile:

    What did you think of the Plyo Manda? I love it! My son, who is 12 and plays soccer, wants to join me in Plyometrics the next time. I told him if he thinks he can keep up to bring it hahaha!

    Did Legs and Back today... LOVE that workout. I always have an issue with the chair lunges - I think because its the first one and I spend half my time trying to get/keep my balance.

    I have the same problem! I feel like I am not warmed up enough to do them well, I feel like it's a hard one to start off with. I have improved a little bit every time, though, so hopefully one day I'll be able to do them without stopping.

    Kenpo today, and I am not feeling very well, I think I caught a cold from my son. I will do my best, though!

    I know I shouldn't be so concerned with this, but has anyone else's weight loss stalled? I think I am going to be the same for two weeks in a row now. I know I am building muscle and that always stalls my weight loss but I am not at a healthy weight yet and I wish I could see some movement on the scale. WDYT?

    I struggled with the chair lunges too...my balance was awful, but I did the best I could and am hoping to continue to improve each time.

    I just did Kenpo for the first time. I felt extremely uncoordinated. I slowed each move down so I could do it properly. Again, I hope to improve each time.

    As far as the weight loss stalling, I didn't weigh myself this week because of TOM...so I can't really answer that. I don't obsess over the number on the scale though, I go by how my clothes are fitting. Just keep up the good work!!

    Don't worry about it... from everything I have read here and on the BB boards its pretty common to not see any weight loss until phase 2. I have the same issue but I know mine is probably a combination of that and not eating enough calories. I take my measurements every Monday and I have noticed a reduction in inches and that is what really matters!!!

    Have faith that the program works as long as you put in the effort. Even though I haven't seen a big drop in numbers several people have told me that they can see a difference, I look thinner and it shows in my face. I think some of that comes from me feeling GREAT -- and the internal knowledge that I am getting stronger... its a mirror image on the outside and of what people see.

    I am just finishing up rest week of phase 2 and I JUST started seeing some weight loss. I knew that I was losing inches but the scale would hardley budge. This really started getting to me so I stopped weighing in....at least compulsivley. Honestly I just weighed in again since I put the scale away about 2- 2.5 weeks ago and since the start I have now lost 17 lbs!! Up until then I had only lost a few pounds, and I have quite a bit to lose. It was discouraging to say the least. It will come, just be patient and watch the inches disappear first. P90X rocks!

    Thanks everyone for the input, I am definitely going to keep going, I do feel better and that should count more than a # on the scale. I also just pulled out some pre-pregnancy jeans that I hadn't even been able to get up over my legs a few months ago and most of them fit, buttoned up nicely! So there's more to it than that #!

    P90X Lean Day 20: Kenpo X

    Wow, Day 20. Only 70 more to go...

    Once again, my glutes are very sore. It's a good sore though :D Had a great Kenpo workout this week. Didn't hit the pause button even once. Was able to really get into all the moves. Very fun workout. My clothes were *soaked* with sweat when I was done. Took a long hot shower afterward.

    Burned 700 calories over 59 minutes (including warm up & cool down)

    189 BPM MAX

    65% of the time spent between 162-180+ BPM
    12% 144-161 BPM
    8% 126-143 BPM

    160 BPM AVG including the warmup/cooldown and workout combined

    Thanks for all of the kind words about by grandfather, everyone. I know he was ready to go, he had been struggling for awhile, but it's still hard.

    I've been faithful to p90x, though, so far. Legs/back/arx was pretty good yesterday, and I just finished kenpo.

    Does anyone know if it's possible to rip the dvds and put them on my iphone? It's likely that I'll be heading to Albuquerque tomorrow (I'm in LA) for my grandfather (they're kind of hippies and aren't doing a traditional funeral, but there's talk of an ash-scattering hike or something along those lines and obviously I want to be with everyone), but it's not likely that whatever cheapie motel I stay in will have a dvd player and I want to stay on track with recovery week. I thought maybe my iphone would be the answer? Does anyone know?

    Happy day 20, those of you on this track!

    MC - wish I had an answer -- it looks like there are some things out there about ripping them to your iphone... I wonder if you can put it in itunes and go from there?!? An alternative would be to pick up an inexpensive DVD player to take with you -- I think they are around 100 bucks now (wont be the best quality but better than nothing and you would have it for future travel). If you have a laptop you can just play it on there.


    Finished Kenpo X -- feeling strong...

    KENPOX


    Anyone feel the need to do some of the exercises with some 3lb dumbells in hand?

    I LOVE the workout, but I feel like I should be increasing the intensity some and am wondering if weights will do it?

    Wrist weights would probably work better.

    Sundays are my weigh in days:

    Lost 1.1 lbs since last week. Also lost 3/4" from my belly button (spare tire) waist since last week :)
    Since I started P90X on Nov 1st, I've lost 3.5 lbs and 1.75" around my belly button waist.
    Since I started my GetFit plan on Sept. 4th, I've lost a total of 17.6 lbs

    Have another 14.4 lbs to go to reach my goal weight. Over half way there now :)
